Hospital patients can now be
iiihetl by machinery. An inven
?r has recently patented an lu?
anions little machine, consisting
f a small box, in which is a selfigistering
thermometer, cannect1
electrically with a tiny hell.

rmpit of u person suffering from
ivor nml when his temperature

A wound stitching machine is
le invention of another doctor
imed Michel. It works very
inch more rapidly than the old
icthod of stitching by hand, is
unless and effective. It consts
of a case or sheath, holding
number of nickel hooks or
inds, like those used for the cor
jrs of cardboard boxes. They
*o pin in position with a pair of
ireeps and can he adjnstod at the
ito of twenty live a minute. Their
Minded points do not penetrate
le lower layer of tho skin, hut
ily tho ipidermis, and therefore,
io pain caused by them is very
iglit. They have the additional
lvantagc of being very easily
sinfectcd.
A most curious invention is that
f Dr. Coakloy tor stimulating a
oak heart. It consists of a hoi
?w needle some oight inches long,
iad? of an alloy of gold, and
riven by a litllo electric motor,
t is ho sbapod that it can bo used
> actually pierce the heart and
ijeet into it a solution of salt and
arm water, which will stimulate

of Dr. Cordier, which is folio
cure of neuralgia and similar
litis. It is a sort of gigantic hyDdermic
svringo by the aid of
Inch not medicine, but air can
a injected beneath the skin of the
ifl'orer. A sort of bubble of air
formed under the skin and this,
iing kneaded along the painful

For the cure of consumption a
lachine ha* been devised which
